I am going to use this blog to publish some of my poetry. I don't write much, but I enjoy it in a cathartic sort of way. I have always been strangely intrigued by poetry, a sentiment that grows as I age. In poetry I find insight, wisdom, exploration, and meaning. I like how poems can simultaneously 'cut to the chase' and be metaphoric and vague. In poems I find comfort knowing that I am not alone, and that others have thoughts as crazy, or crazier, than mine.
I rarely write poetry when I am in a good mood. Maybe I should, but I'm doing other things when I feel joyous. When I am really spinning on a problem, or feeling low, I can become thoughtful, reflective, and melancholic. That's when I explore some of to the dark corners of myself, and sometimes write poetry, hence the title "Dark Corners Poetry Blog". I don't always like, or understand, what I find. Poetry helps me work through my thoughts, feelings, and fears.
Not everything is dark, of course, but in the darkness are the secrets.
